The sports world received some devastating news over the weekend after it was announced that Steelers QB Dwayne Haskins had passed away after being hit by a car.
Haskins was only 24 and was training in Florida with Steelers teammates.
His wife, Kalabrya Gondrezick-Haskins has broken her silence on her husband’s untimely passing in a statement and it was extremely beautifully written.
She didn’t have to say anything at all and continue her grieving process so the fact that she did shows how much strength she has.
Here is the latest on the accident.
Disturbing new details have emerged from the scene where Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins was killed by a dump truck on a Florida highway.
While investigators have thus far declined to answer questions about the crash and will only release information after the case is closed, a witness — local resident Chris Stanley — told the Columbus Dispatch that he believes he saw the late quarterback on the highway before the collision, noticing vehicles veering into his lane.
“And what I noticed was a Mack truck, or a big tractor-trailer, with also another vehicle that started moving a little bit to the left,” Stanley said. “I was in the left lane and then there was the right lane. And then I noticed an individual there starting to make their way onto the road.
“He was about halfway, to a quarter way in the right lane, already onto the highway and I was already concerned that somebody was going to strike him right there at that moment,” he continued, noting that he saw the man raising his arms.
The accident happened around 6:37 a.m. on I-595 West at the I-95 interchange outside Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
You have to really feel for her. Thoughts and prayers going out to her.
